Model-measurement consistency and limits of bioaerosol abundance over the continental United States [PDF]
Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics, 2019 Due to low concentrations and chemical complexity, in situ observations of bioaerosol are geographically and temporally sparse, and this limits the accuracy of current emissions inventories.

Indoor bioaerosol dynamics [PDF]
Indoor Air, 2014 Inhaling indoor air is the primary means by which humans are exposed to bioaerosols. Considering bacteria, fungi, and viruses, this study reviews the dynamic processes that govern indoor concentrations and fates of biological particulate material. Bioaerosol behavior is strongly coupled to particle size; this study emphasizes the range 0.1-10 μm in ...
